Technical analysis by Moon-ForexAcademy about Symbol PAXG: Sell recommendation (12/17/2025)

XAU / USD : trend forecast December 17, 2025 ⚠️Gold (XAU/USD) continues to build on its bullish tone during the early European session on Wednesday, trading just below seven-week highs above $4,350. The yellow metal gathers traction as the US labor market, while still relatively resilient, shows clear signs of deceleration. A mixed November employment report has reinforced expectations for additional easing by the Federal Reserve, exerting downward pressure on the US Dollar (USD). A lower interest-rate environment continues to reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets, providing a supportive backdrop for gold prices. On the policy front, the Federal Reserve delivered its third 25-basis-point rate cut at last week’s December meeting, though officials remain divided on the need for further cuts in 2026. The median projection among policymakers points to just one additional reduction next year, while several members see rates on hold. Market participants will look for fresh direction from upcoming Fedspeak later on Wednesday, with New York Fed President John Williams and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic scheduled to speak. Any hawkish tilt in their remarks could offer near-term support to the Greenback and cap gains in USD-denominated commodities. ⚠️ GOLD PRICES CONTINUE TO TRADE SIDEWAYS - breaking the short-term trendline during the European session, retesting 4328 and continuing to correct downwards. 🚨/// SELL XAU : zone 4328-4331 SL: 4334 TP: 50 - 100 - 300pips ( 4301 ) Safe and profitable tradingXAU recover above 4330 , break
